From Rosie Jones doc to the ME research, I know there’s many issues right now that some in the disabled community feel passionately about. There’s still few staff disabled journalists so pitching as a freelancer can be a vital way to get voices heard. So here’s a few tips: 1/6

I interviewed @josierones ahead of her new documentary. We spoke about the backlash, the toll of ableist abuse, and why she’s ready to get angry. theguardian.com/stage/2023/jul…

Some thoughts on the pending C4 documentary about online hate crime disabled people face. TW: ableist language. There's a bit of a pile on directed at one person going on, and I wanted to add a different perspective. This has to do with the title, but specifically the reaction
